Psychology of Liberty is in bookstores now! Here's an NPR podcast about reclaiming true freedom. Hint: It's not what neoliberals, tech bros, and the wealthy say it is. It's how we feel when we are allowed to be the humans we evolved to be. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

I never thought I would have to send money to a Kansan🌻 deported when lawfully attending her green card hearing. She had her hands held forcefully and made to sign her deportation order. My U.S. rep, Derek Schmidt, voted in Judiciary Committee today in favor of deporting U.S. citizens.

On this 100th day of horror, I am haunted by what an anti-apartheid activist told me after leaving South Africa: "I finally realized that the rich people just want the poor people to die."

So this is all a shakedown. Watch Netanyahu grovel and agree to virtually anything to get those tariffs down. Next, a parade of world leaders bending the knee.

In these times, I spend hours thinking of what I should be doing for our democracy, our freedom. Then I watch Call the Midwife, and Anne with an E so that I might remember that kindness is everything.

Just like Cory Booker, I was awake 25 hours. Unlike Cory Booker, I was thrashing about and fretting about whether my book can change hearts and minds about the true meaning of freedom. Download it free from uni libraries, link.springer.com/book/10.1007..., or ask to review it, [email protected].

Cory Booker's 23 hour lecture has been a master class in governance, finance, the role of the federal government, and most of all -- the responsibility of leaders.

An aide in Senator Roger Marshall's office is asking party affiliation, and then saying, "The Doctor does not want to hear from Democrats." I'm assuming they mean Doctor Who, but can't be sure.

I thought the Musk rampage became personal when our grant proposal to train teachers in creativity in STEM was put at the bottom of the pile for its DEI aroma. Now that my family and friends who live abroad fear visiting the U.S., it's very personal.
